We are 63 days away from K-State kicking off the 2024 college football season, and this is one of the most anticipated seasons in recent memory, as K-State is one of a few favorites to contend for a Big 12 championship this fall. I looked at the schedule and can make a case for K-State winning against every opponent they face. I can also make a case for a loss against quite a few of the opposition. I thought I…
All three major K-State sports teams are making news, which means it’s time for another version of Rapid Fire.
